According to reports in The Guardian, Liverpool are closing in on an £8m deal to sign Hull City left-back Andrew Robertson.

The Guardian says that the 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield following the Tigers’ relegation from the Premier League last season, and negotiations between the two clubs are nearing a conclusion.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has been looking for a new left-back with Alberto Moreno failing to impress and midfielder James Milner having to fill in there last term, and the Scotland international will be more of a natural fit in that position.

Liverpool supporters were quick to have their say on the rumour via social media, with the majority believing that the addition of Robertson doesn’t seem like a signing that a team that wants to compete for the Premier League title and in the Champions League would make.
